First Visit
Your first visit is all about you—your comfort, your happiness, and your health.
We enjoy seeing patients of all ages; whether you are bringing your child for the first time, or if you are an octogenarian that loves to smile, we will always make sure your appointments with us are easy! If this is your child’s first visit to the dentist, we will always make sure it is a victory!
At your first appointment, we will spend a little time getting to know you and learn more about your medical and dental history. We will be happy to answer any questions you might have. It is always a good idea to write them down so you don’t forget to ask!

We understand that you have a busy schedule, so when you’re preparing to visit the dentist, please remember that your first appointment can last between 60-90 minutes. Making sure that your insurance information has been given to us 24 hours in advance of your appointment and having the paperwork filled out may speed up the appointment time.
If for any reason you get home and have questions or want to go over other treatment or financial options, all you have to do is to call. We want to be sure to help you get the results you desire.
